I was just reading through some obscure conspiracy theories out of boredom and came up to some site that talks about some ancient religions or such…

Anyway, I found this in there:The “commander of the Anunnaki” and son of Enki/Ea, the god of “the waters” (cf. Gen. 1:1), was Marduk, or Merodach, who is apparently the Mordecai of the biblical book of Esther (Ishtar).
.

Well, I just thought it was interesting, seeing as how Enki is Mard(u)ek’s father, and how this game is obviously based on ancient religion(s). Anyway, it’s not really anything important, just thought I’d say it, since I don’t remember reading that before, especially the “commander of the Anunnaki” part. I just always thought the name Mardek was random, but it seems to have deeper meaning, and perhaps it even foreshadows Mardek’s destiny…

SUPER-ULTRA-MEGA-GIGA-PROTIP: If you are a completionist, make sure you get the chest from where you fight the Shaman in the Tainted Grotto before starting Chapter 3. Apparently it doesn’t count if you take it in Chapter 3. I am now left with 439 chests, even though I opened them all.

You did find the crew the part they needed, although their Captain might be looking for something else, although seeing as the Gizmometer is described with “It’s some kind of gizmobob or doodah; you aren’t sure which.” and Dreamstone #16 says “Here I am, out in the godsdamned frozen wilderness, blindly fumbling along this icy troll’s gnarly backbone, lone as an eagle, tryin’ to find some doodah or gizmo that’ll get me home.” I’m sure that you already found it, and now all that the Goldfish needs to fly again is the Captain. Which you might end up being. Or not.

I can’t remember where I read it, but Pseudo did say that there will be a split in the story, most likely between Chapter 4 and 5. He never mentioned what it would be, but I believe that this is when you leave Belfan and go space traveling. Perhaps Belfan is destroyed, perhaps it is not. But you leave it anyway. That’s what I think.

As for the whole YALORT thing, personally I think he doesn’t exist, and that all the glowy eyes are just spirit possessions as I said before. But if he does, I don’t think he is an evil deity. It’s more like he doesn’t care so much about his creations once they develop. He just comes, creates a sun system, watches life evolve for couple billions, gives them sentience, watches them some more, and if they don’t anger him enough to destroy them, he leaves to create something new. Well that’s what the Holy Book says, anyway. (And that is totally really. Honest.)

I found out which chest I was missing and it seems to be bugged. It’s the chest (Or corpse rather) in the tainted grotto, in the room where you fought the shaman. But it seems that the game doesn’t register it if you pick it up in Chapter 3. I checked my Ch. 2 endgame save and there were 139. I went to the Tainted Grotto, picked it up and i had 140 in the status bar. Then i picked it up in Chapter 3 (Save right before the final fight), and the status remained unchanged.

Yes I know. But he also seems to want to use the mini VC for something not so holy. And yet glowing eyes should be a sign on his faith. Unless YALORT is an evil god, I’d think that either peoples eyes don’t glow because of faith, but because of possession, or perhaps an evil spirit possessed Vudu since his eyes were already glowing.

Gallovar’s eyes are glowign and he’s just a medium priest. Vudu is a high priest, so obviously his eyes would glow.

and the glowing due to possessino stuff doesn’t work, because only ONE character had grene glowing eyes on possessed beings. We killed him in chapter 2.

sigh I know his eyes would glow because of faith, as I have said already. But it’s obvious there’s something shady going on with him. And the eyes glow seems to depend on the element of the possessor. GdM are not the only beings in the universe capable of possessing. Antares, in the Sun Temple is a idol of SOLAK possessed by a spirit, and those Sun idols are also possessed by spirits. So it’s possible that a spirit somehow possessed Vudu. I DO understand that faith equals glowing eyes. What I am saying is that a spirit may have possessed Vudu after his eyes already started glowing because of his faith, so that there would be no apparent change, like there would be if he possessed someone whose eyes didn’t already glow. This is just speculation though, and there is no evidence to prove it, but there is none to disprove it either.

1. About the time it takes Gaspar to come to Belfan. It could very well be anything up to 3 years. Qualna used astral tunnels which can get between planets in hours, and yet he only possessed the king after 3 years. As someone stated, it may be that the GdM first tries to fix the consequences of one of them dying. Qualna did say that Moric’s death caused quite a mess, and his might too. Though I don’t think his death will cause much disturbance like Moric’s did, since Moric had a more public job, taking care of the army, while Qualna is someone who seems more like an adviser to the GdM. So all in all, i think Gaspar could be there in a week, a month or a year. Although I find a couple months the most likely.

2.Now, once he is there, he will burn stuff. It’s obvious. He may or may not destroy Belfan. Either way, i think the Carassius will fly, with Mardek as the new captain, in the end of chapter 4. (Pseudolonewolf mentioned a split after Chapter 4, going to space might be it).

3.I think it’s clear that Enki is the Carassius’s captain, but i don’t think he will be joining you. I just think you will meet him on his dying bed, where he tells you you must save Nineveh, or something like that.

4. As for Bernard being the hero mentioned in the books and Muriance being Zephiros, I totally agree with you guys. Also, it’s remotely possible that Steele and Muriance are related in some way. Perhaps Muriance’s mother was Aether, and we don’t know how that reactes when coupled with Dark (The bandit who raped Wiffeta.). Although they are probably not.

5. Now for something you guys haven’t talked about. If you speak with Gloria in Xantusia she says something like “I hear this area has a reptoid shaman. He is rarely seen though.”.
I think he might be behind the Arcane Door that only the Chief can open (and presumably, the shaman from the other side). I also think that a portal exist there linking to the wraith village mentioned to exist near the Aether temple. (If you recall an old woman also talks about various villages, mentioning a village of reptoids, trilobites, wraiths, and hunky young men (Though that last one probably doesn’t exist, and even if it DID, I\m not sure we would want to visit it.)., and since 2 of those DO exist, i don’t see why the third should not. Especially since that Secret shop seller seems to be a wraith, or something.)
You might venture into the Aether temple, possibly causing all sorts of mayhem if you take it, since without it, no new souls will enter, and existing ones will be weakened.

6. Moving on to Vudu, the High priest. He appears to be evil, seeking out the mini VC and sending you off so he can be alone with it (Maybe he just likes violet baubles. You KNOW, LIKES likes.). Now it is mentioned somewhere that those with high faith have their eyes glow in sing of their devotion. But we also know another thing that causes glowing eyes. Possession. Perhaps he is possessed by a earth-element spirit. An evil spirit, that is. Perhaps all those priests are possessed, although not necessarily by evil spirits. The high priest of SOLAK might be possessed by a light-element GOOD spirit, for instance. Or perhaps their eyes do shine because of faith, and that evil earth spirit saw it as a fit to possess Vudu, so no one would notice his glowing eyes, since they already were glowing.

Yah, i just checked my chapter 2 saves, and i cleared Moric’s ship, the Goznor sewers, and the part of the gem mine with the miners, they are all clear. Although, I do seem to have missed a chest from Chapter 2, since i collected 139 there, and I just think there’s 140, because it’s a prettier number and all. Guess I’ll just have to recheck everything then. sigh

EDIT: Well i found out what it is. Turns out the game doesn’t register the chest from where you kill the shaman if you pick it up in Chapter 3, and I have, since i didn’t even think to look there. I submitted a bug report, really hoping that this will get fixed.

Well, now i am missing one chest. Tell me, if you picked up all the chests in Chapter 1 & 2, should there be any items for sale in the Aeropolis Slums Shop (Not the Bandit shop, obviously)? Because I had one item there, a weapon for Zach, i can’t remember which one, even though i think i was very thorough in previous chapters.

In the room before the save crystal and the plants, there is a door somewhere in the middle of the room i think. It’s fairly obvious if you look on the map. Here, have a look at the map. That green circle right in the middle represents a door. He’s in there.

All you need is someone to heal, a haste fairy on legion, fairy dust, and a little luck not to die immediately. I just fairy dusted him to 0 SPR and STR and than he couldn’t hurt me… Also, recommended that you level up a little before battling him.
